ABOUT M/V
MANATEE AMAZON EXPLORER - in their
own words:
Although expedition cruising by its very nature is characterized as adventurous,
the safety of our staff and passengers is of paramount importance to us. The
Manatee Amazon Explorer is fully equipped and maintained in order to handle the
most challenging conditions and circumstances, and is manned by experienced and
conscientious expedition staff and crew. The canoes used for daily shore
landings are rugged and versatile and are operated responsibly by experienced
personnel. Onboard you will be fully briefed on all pertinent safety issues and
concerns, as well as our environmental policy; passengers also receive
appropriate and detailed briefings before each landing.
The Manatee Amazon Explorer is also equipped with a small fleet of motorized
canoes. The canoes provide unlimited mobility and allow for the exploration of
the most remote areas and inaccessible shores. Our vessel is comfortable, and
complies with both national and international navigation —as well as safety,
security, and environmental protection— standards. We are certified by Smart
Voyager and Rainforest Alliance, entities that guarantee the sustainability of
our operations.
